Café Latté

This place is a hidden gem. it’s on the side of the street but it makes up in beautiful Decour and very cozy atmosphere. They have very good coffee cappuccino’s and their food is delicious. My wife and I tried the fried cheese, I think it was called saganaki cheese. Will be back for more!

This place is amazing they have the best octopus! Great service and great food. And who like Mediterranean they have excellent choices

Best grilled calamari and octopus on Staten Island! The place has the feel of being a small bistro in Europe. Had a perfectly marinated skirt steak, cooked to perfection medium rare. The chef «Manny» is very passionate about the food he prepares. He will step out of the kitchen on occasion and chat with you about the food. Excellent coffee bar and desserts.

There food is really good, well priced good portions Ive eaten there many times, great service. i always go back for more. They great you when you come in make sure your satisfied after you have eaten make sure your leaving happy. Its my kind of place

This place is awesome. Best grilled calamari I’ve ever had. Pita bread off the chart. Amazing salads. Good service. Hidden gem for sure. Sweet and simple.

Just stopped by for a quick espresso and a glass of water mid-​afternoon on Columbus Day. Hidden spot on Cromwell Ave and Hylan. Nice and quiet. Intimate and cozy atmosphere. Will come back to try food. Potential for romance.

Went to café latte today. Tried to go for lunch.
Since I only have an hour for lunch as I walked into the restaurant with two of my friends we asked would we be able to be seated and out within the hour.
We were looked at like we had several heads and the waiter seem to not understand what we were saying.
Our friend had warned us that she had tried to eat lunch there and the service was not good.
There was a gentleman who appeared to be a chef he told us it depends what you’re going to eat. We replied salads.
He said sure sure have a seat. We sat down we waited about five minutes we weren’t even served water at that point.
What I assumed was the waiter was standing by the bar looking through papers not even at acknowledging us.
We agreed, let’s give them two more minutes and then we’ll go somewhere else.
We gave them three more minutes and we left the restaurant.
We went across the street to Pasticceria Bruno we were served a delicious lunch and out in 45 minutes.

Was there for dinner tonight. Amaaaazing. We started with the Village salad — delicious and more than enough for the three of us (2 adults and a child). My daughter got grilled chicken kabobs with French fries — the chicken was juicy and flavorful. My husband and I had the branzino with veggies. Sooo delicious! I’m somewhat picky about my fish but this was cooked perfectly. The veggies were delicious. The bread was nice and hot and was perfect to scoop up all of the juices off the plate.
Service was great and quick. Our young lady was very sweet and attentive to whatever we needed.
The people at the bar do turn around to look at you when you walk in but I think they’re trying to figure out if they know you since it’s a family-​owned place.
We’ll definitely be back.

I have been here several times. The first time was a bit of a random try as it is in a bit of a tough to see spot. But such a happy accident.
Went later on in the day on a Sunday and have to say, felt like was walking into a spot in Europe. Small, (until i realized they have an upstairs were there were a bunch of guys watching a soccer match and yelling at the tv) — def continued the European vibe.
The fist time we only had coffee (excellent BTW) and crepes w/​nutella — soooo good. reminded me of grandma. Also they were not in a rush to get us out… we lingered over coffee and were deep in conversation without being rushed.
The 2^nd time we had lunch — we had the grilled Octopus which was amazing — not rubbery at all — they obviously buy the Portuguese /​European because it was delicious. Fried Calamari — also really good and the Olive Tapenade with pita dipping bread. — excellent.
Have been back for the crepes and nutella a few times after dinner!
Overall — i have nothing bad to say — great quality food @ good prices, good service and very cozy.
Go check it out before it’s impossible to get into!

Wow. So I don’t usually write a review after only one visit to a restaurant, but this is a special case. First, a moment of silence for the lobster that I just inhaled. He died for a good cause… And was yummy!
I ordered the lobster ravioli (under $ 14) for lunch today. Had a cappuccino while I waited. The ravioli was perfect. I couldn’t possibly imagine any way to improve this meal. There was a good amount of meat in there, too, which is something I always worry about when ordering things like this. And the sauce!!! Thank god for the bread… Dipping the bread in the leftover sauce is less weird than drinking it… Which may be frowned upon in many social situations… But you just can’t throw away a drop of the sauce. So… Carb out, my friends (and there’s a ton of bread with the meal which is served warm, soft, and wonderful).
Walking into the restaurant was a bit like walking into someone’s living room uninvited… Good and bad. Good, because the décor is nice, cozy, clean. Bad, because the people in the place immediately ceased the conversation and stared at me, as if to say, «who are you?» I had expected this, however, as it was mentioned by a previous review.
Oh, that cappuccino was great as well. I’ll definitely be back. Maybe for dinner, or drinks and dessert.

This cute little joint is a hidden gem, too close to Hylan to be noticed for it’s class and too far to be noticed on the drive by. Then there’s the name which may mislead passerbys to think they will be getting muffins and lattes ala starbucks, when in fact it’s a pretty full European menu.
Perfectly grilled meat on the pleskavica (Balkan Hamburger). Good coffee. Amazing beef liver! My one complaint is I wish I could get a salad with an entrée sometimes instead of fries. You can order a salad and they’re good but really entrée size and then we’re talking $ 25 for more food than i need for lunch. But aside from that, the pricing is excellent for generous portions if not as inexpensive as Alba down the street with similar fare. I guess, the price differential is for «atmosphere.» It’s a beautiful space and the staff is very professional.
Fair warning to tourists, the Albanian guys at the bard will stare at you for a few awkward seconds when you walk in and they wonder why you are there but then they go back to shouting at each other about soccer in English, Albanian and Serbo-​Croatian while dance music blares in the background.
